Even Wringing A Wet Cloth Is Magical In Space
Astronaut Chris Hadfield continues to make us all insanely jealous of the time he’s been spending on the International Space Station with another video showing what day-to-day life is like orbiting the Earth.

Naked Human Bodies Jumping Up And Down In 2000FPS Is Not Flattering (NSFW)
Jiggle. Blubber. Bounce. Gravity’s a bitch. It’s especially unforgiving if you jump up and down naked while getting filmed at 2000FPS.
